IEEE Market-Oriented Standards Process and the EDA Industry

Abstract

The IEEE has collaborated with numerous consortia to develop EDA standards for more than a decade. The recent success of new and emerging standards have borrowed from the market- oriented approaches to ensure immediate suppliers of tools and technology that embrace IEEE standards that give consumers confidence they should plan for their immediate use. The SystemVerilog success will be explored and it will be demonstrated how it can apply to other work in the IEEE.
